Session summary

In this session you will make butterfly feeders and then go litter picking around your local area

Safety message

  • Plan and be mindful of changing weather conditions, communicate and set boundaries clearly, and have a backup plan just in case.
  • Stay in groups, have a buddy system in place, be aware of your surroundings, and have designated meeting points.
  • Remember to review your risk assessment to ensure you have enough adults, which may be more than the minimum ratio.
  • Always remember to risk assess and plan for free time, even if it's just the first five minutes of the meeting.
  • If you are meeting or going out from your usual meeting place, remember there must be a designated leader in charge, who is not counted in the adult to young person ratio.
  • Complete frequent headcounts, especially during transitions and activities, to ensure no one is missing and everyone remains safe.
